Now what do you define as off-road driving?
 
I have a friend that says if all 4 wheels stay on the ground all the time its not off roading, and a purest will get airborne at least once.

Hmhh that would not meet the tread lightly guidelines.
 
I mean getting a wheel in the air is normal and is going to happen but getting completly airborne should not be happening unless you say flip your vehicle, that is bad you know, or you are in an off road race. You shouldn't be getting airborne on an oridinary trail ride but a dedicated race track is different.

Hey I didn't say that, just repeating what a friend says. And yes we have had the willys airborne once or twice.

Wow I want your pay plan.
 
Our Minis are 75 dollars and our comission starts at 15 percent after the pack which is huge since it is based on a percent of invoice.

Does that same fireroad count as offroad if it is pouring down rain and a 30 degree incline?
 
It does - only if it's 30° in different directions for all four tires!

Do most dealerships also pay their sales people a salary in addition to the commission?

My experience is no they do not, they may for new salesmen who are in training but just about all that I have come across pay strict commission.
 
There are a few that do pay strictly salary but those are rare.

We get a very, very small, like you need an electron microscope to see it, small salary. We are the only dealership in our autogroup that has a salary.

Question to the sales team.. by dc_driver

Why does almost every car dealer list the destination cost as separate cost? What I mean is that every person, in the continental US, pays the same destination fee on a particular make and model and I am curious why this is simply not included in the price of the car automatically. Cannot tell you how many times I have received quotes only to find that the destination cost was not included in the quote. Now I am a pretty savvy shopper and always ask for an itemized out the door quote. I wonder how many folks make it all the way to the end of the deal before they realize (or maybe they don't) that destination is a separate charge and non-negotiable...
